Can this skill be appropriately depicted in a video model?
Video models can be used to define environmental stressors and to then demonstrate appropriate responses to such stressors.
This video below depicts an appropriate response to an environmental trigger; in this case, a noisy environment:
This is the right way to leave a stressful situation. This employee is having a hard time dealing with the noisy kitchen at work. He needs to take a short break so he won’t become really upset. He walks out of the noisy room, closes his eyes, and takes some breaths. After he calms down, he will be ready to go back to work.

Have you task analyzed this skill to ensure that your video clearly depicts every key step that comprises the targeted response?
Who will you use as “actors” in this video – will the targeted student be included in the video?
Will you shoot this video from the perspective of the student (first person) or from the third person perspective?
Will you narrate the video?
How will you ensure that the student experiences opportunities to not only review the skill via the video model, but to also engage in repeated rehearsal of the skill across multiple contexts?
Will the student be able to review the video just prior to expected performance of that skill (priming)?
